National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

Chapter 3862 Dark Mist

Swish!

Immediately, all the federal soldiers reacted and saluted Fang Heng in unison.

"Commander Fang Heng!"

Su Zhou waved his hand and said, "Let's continue with our work."

"Yes!"

Su Zhou explained to Fang Heng, "Our town produces several rare minerals and basic food crops. The Holy Tribunal gives the town a certain amount of supplies every month. Only by fulfilling the quota can we exchange for the Holy Tribunal's protection and receive the lantern provided by the Holy Tribunal."

"Today happens to be the day our town delivers supplies to the City's Holy Judgment Office. We'll also be taking this month's supplies to the city to exchange for some aberration crystals and daily necessities. Would Mr. Fang Heng be willing to come with us?"

Fang Heng was also looking forward to visiting the city and was currently looking for a guide, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go together."

"That's great."

Su Zhou was overjoyed.

The journey from the town to the city requires traversing a dangerous, dark fog.

Most of the players' casualties will occur on this day; one wrong move and it can result in a total wipeout.

Su Zhou was initially very nervous, but unexpectedly, she had amazing luck and ran into Fang Heng here.

Who is Fang Heng?

That was a being who once saved the entire world, whose power was unfathomable.

With his help, this time it's definitely going to be a sure thing.

After the supplies were loaded, several armored vehicles, along with modified cargo trucks, started moving and headed toward a parking lot on the west side of the town.

“The minerals and grains produced in the town, as well as the crystal cores obtained from fighting the black mist monsters, are all transported to the main city. The risk of transporting them back and forth repeatedly is too great. In addition, the merchants in the town also need to go to the city to exchange goods. Therefore, everyone agreed to select a day each month for all the town's caravans to set off for the town together and return at the same time, so that they can take care of each other.”

As they were talking, a burly middle-aged man with dark skin walked to the car window, knocked on the glass, and handed over a form.

"Su Zhou, please register."

"Ok."

Su Zhou quickly filled out the form and handed it back.

"They are the largest gang in the area. On the surface, they belong to a chamber of commerce, but they are supported by local forces. They oversee several mines near the town. Every day, they escort miners into the mining area to dig for ore and bring them back at night. Every month, they transport the preliminarily selected and refined ore into the main city."

Su Zhou nodded to Fang Heng and explained, "That guy's name is Harley. He's a top expert in the gang, a fourth-level martial artist. In our town, a fourth-level martial artist is already considered top-tier."

Before long, all the vehicles ready to depart for the city were prepared.

Harley came over again, knocked on the car window, and said, "Su Zhou, wait a minute, your men will follow our first platoon and lead the way, your trucks will follow our truck squad."

Su Zhou frowned and asked, "Has something happened?"

"A couple of days ago, a convoy transporting goods from the neighboring town was attacked by monsters on the way. For safety reasons, the boss asked us to gather the combat units of the major chambers of commerce to clear the way."

"it is good."

Su Zhou agreed and said no more.

After everyone left, he spoke softly, "Mr. Fang Heng, I'm afraid this journey will be somewhat fraught with difficulties."

"How to say?"

“I heard privately a few days ago that the gang had a conflict with another city chamber of commerce over the allocation of mining areas. Today, they deployed most of their combat forces to the front line, which seems to be a way to intimidate the rival chamber of commerce and prevent them from attacking us halfway.”

A hint of worry flickered in Su Zhou's eyes, then he smiled and said, "I hope I'm just overthinking it."

It was noon soon.

Just as the gray fog was about to thin out, the first few armored vehicles slowly started up and drove along a dilapidated road toward the outskirts of the city.

Fang Heng's armored vehicle was positioned at the front of the formation.

Through the car window, Fang Heng could see a hazy gray expanse outside.

The visible distance is about 100 meters; beyond that, you can only see a faint shadow.

"Fuck!"

A vortex of dark mist immediately appeared in Fang Heng's eyes.

The view ahead suddenly opened up.

With the blessing of the Eye of Chaos, the visible distance can be directly increased to more than 700 meters.

Oh?

The Dark Mist Monster?

Fang Heng scanned the distance and was soon drawn to a large, dark-colored arthropod in the distance.

The arthropod was enormous, resembling a giant centipede, with very tall limbs. It crawled slowly through the dark fog, moving at an extremely slow pace.

Fang Heng sized up the monster and asked, "Will you leave the town to hunt monsters?"

"Hunting monsters is a rare occurrence. Monsters gain terrifying boosts to all their attributes in the dark fog, and we can easily lose our way in it. Moreover, our strength is limited, so we are not at an advantage in dealing with monsters."

Su Zhou explained, "Sometimes monsters enter the town at night, and during the day, lone monsters often get lost in the town. At this time, various forces within the town will organize people to hunt them down."

"Back then, the monsters were far from the dark fog, and their attributes dropped significantly, making them much easier to hunt. This was usually the main way for towns to obtain aberration crystals and monster materials. By the way, I heard that there are also specially set traps in the main city to deal with monsters, which can trap them for hunting. The safety factor is much higher than ours."

"I see."

Fang Heng observed the arthropod life form slowly crawling in the dark fog.

It is large in size but slow in speed, and does not seem to be a creature with extremely strong attack capabilities.

I wonder how strong they are when they actually start fighting.

Because his perception was weakened to the extreme, Fang Heng could only judge the opponent's strength by his appearance.

"By the way, Fang Heng, this is a mutated crystal, a unique product of this world, and cannot be taken out of this game."

As Su Zhou spoke, he handed a small, dark crystal to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng took the crystal, and lines of game prompts immediately appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Player has obtained Aberration Crystal (Fragment) (Inferior)].

[Note: This item can be used for special training.]

[Tip: You can seek to refine this item to upgrade its level.]

[Note: This item cannot be taken out of this world.]

"Can it be absorbed?"

"Ah."

Su Zhou nodded slightly, "Directly absorbing aberrant crystals will result in severe backlash. It requires the use of cultivation techniques specific to this world. Absorbing high-level crystals requires even higher-level techniques. Ordinary cultivation techniques can be purchased from the Holy Judgment in major cities, while higher-level techniques are held by various forces in this world..."

"Mr. Fang Heng?"

Seeing that Fang Heng suddenly stopped talking and stared at the distance outside the car window with a solemn expression, Su Zhou couldn't help but look towards the gray fog ahead as well.

A thick layer of gray fog blocked the view ahead.

Nothing could be seen clearly. (End of Chapter)
